Practical Parenting Magazine's Sleep School
"You get them into bed on time and they happily drift off ... until 5am! So how
do you stop your baby being a dawn waker?"
That was the question posed by journalist Kate Ashley when she interviewed Wendy
for her article, Early Birds, for the April 2007 issue of Practical Parenting
magazine.
The article discusses Wendy's techniques and simple steps for coping with babies and
toddlers who are early risers. A case study is presented for each age group; newborns,
older babies and toddlers.
Newborns
The newborns (0 - 6 months) case study tells how Maria
(a Baby Sleep System mum) solved the problemof her daughter Tabitha waking at 5:00am each morning. Maria describes the techniques in The Baby Sleep System as "much of it is common sense, but when you're
exhausted you just can't see it."
Older Babies
The older babies (6 - 12 months) case study tells how daytime activity and
structured naps helped Kate Pahl's 9 month old son, Hallam, break the 6:00am barrier.
Toddlers
The toddlers (12 - 18 months) case study shows how some children get the early
riser habit from their parents! Wendy explains how fresh air and exercise can
help a child sleep for longer during the night. Blackout curtains can be a big
help too!
